I noticed the same issue under ubuntu when feeding my program (i.e. on the
command line) file names with special characters (my locale is fr_FR.UTF-8).
I discovered I had to use Codec.Binary.String.UTF8.decodeString. I didn't
know it was only for Unix.

I've been trying to deal with how my haskell program handles unicode filenames. Been dealing with problems like those described here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3307
Or, simply demonstrated by feeding unicode to getLine >>= readFile
My approach currently is to carefully identify any point where a FilePath is output, and run it through a filePathToString (which varies by OS), as suggested in the above bug report.
Is there a less tedious and error-prone way? What is the best approach to use now, assuming that these issues will be dealt with in some way in Haskell, eventually?
